When a new pull request is opened in the project and the author of the pull request is not a member of the RobotLocomotion GitHub organization, the Jenkins GitHub Pull Request Builder @drake-jenkins-bot will not automatically schedule builds.
To allow the pull request to be tested, a member of the RobotLocomotion organization may comment:
@drake-jenkins-bot ok to test
to accept this pull request for testing.@drake-jenkins-bot test this please
for a one time test run.
If the build fails for other various reasons you can rebuild:
@drake-jenkins-bot retest this please
to start a new build.
You can also view the Jenkins UI directly.
When posting a @drake-jenkins-bot ... please
comment in Reviewable,
never use the large green "Publish" button in the upper right corner.
Instead, write the bot comment in the "Review discussion" box immediately below the "File Matrix" widget and use the "single message send" button to post it, in the lower-right corner of the "Review discussion" box.
(For details, see Reviewable#576.)
There are a number of Jenkins builds that do not normally run pre-merge, but do
run post-merge, nightly, or weekly. These builds include lower-priority
platforms (e.g., macOS), and specialized options (e.g.,
UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer).
Members of the RobotLocomotion organization can manually schedule these builds
on pull requests that have not yet been merged, or on arbitrary commits in the
RobotLocomotion/drake
repository.
To schedule a build of an open pull request merged with master, comment:
@drake-jenkins-bot <job-name> please
where <job-name>
is the name of an
experimental job.
For example:
@drake-jenkins-bot mac-catalina-clang-bazel-experimental-release please
@drake-jenkins-bot linux-bionic-clang-bazel-experimental-valgrind-memcheck please
Alternatively, to schedule a build of an open pull request or arbitrary commit
in the RobotLocomotion/drake
repository:
- Log in to Jenkins using GitHub OAuth. (Make sure that you see your name the upper-right corner, not the words "Log in".)
- Go to the list of experimental builds.
- Click on the specific build you want to schedule.
- Click on "Build with Parameters" in the left menu.
- Enter
pr/XYZ/head
(HEAD of pull request),pr/XYZ/merge
(pull request merged with master), or the desired commit SHA in thesha1
field. - Click
Build
.
The list of experimental builds includes builds that automatically run on opened and updated pull requests, as well as numerous other builds for on-demand use. To help identify the on-demand build you want to run, you can consult the lists of continuous, nightly, and weekly builds, but you should not schedule continuous, nightly, or weekly builds directly.
